I did the same with an old Dunlap #4 I picked up at a yard sale. Just cleaned it up, flattened the sole and sharpened the blade with a heavy camber on it. It'll hog some wood now.
I'm curious about the irons on the Kobalts. How thick are they and how do they hold an edge? I wonder why the Kobalts are so cheap and figure it's probably sloppy frogs, plastic handles and flimsy irons but I've never had my hands on one to verify.
